After spending two weeks down at number-four on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department” returned to number-one for the tracking week that ended August 1. It was a slow week on the chart as “Tortured Poets” only achieved 71,000 album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams.
